ASD Tug

Electric Tug Does the Work of Four People.

American Sales Development LLC. (ASD) announces the ergonomic ASD electric walkie tug that reduces the effort, strain and chance of injury when moving heavy or unwieldy loads in a manufacturing or warehouse environment. With a capacity of up to 20,000lbs, on wheeled carts or trailers, the unit easily and safely replaces the effort of four persons, or up to 8 persons, with one electric tug.

ASD’s Tug is an electrically powered, walk behind, wheeled cart and trailer mover constructed of formed 1/4" steel plate. The unit has an internal weight package to add traction capabilities. Additional traction is gained by slightly elevating the hitch mechanism, either manually by pushing down on the handle or with an optional electric drive 5th wheel to add some of the weight of the load to the Tug’s drive wheels. With a 36v DC power circuit, heavy duty deep cell batteries and on-board, 5-stage battery charger, the unit can run all day on a single charge.
